It is already halfway through the month of January! Have you tried skiing or snowboarding yet?

Last year over 153,000 people participated in Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month and the Bring a Friend Challenge (BAF). BAF is a season long program where you can win prizes if you do just that, bring a friend to the slopes. Over 94% of current skiers and riders were introduced by a friend or family member. What are you waiting for? Bring a friend to the slopes, however, it might be a good idea to have them take a lesson with a certified instructor. This way you will still be friends on the drive home!

As a member of the Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month Leadership Team, I am offering a tip of the day for each of the 31 days in January on Facebook.
